Fresh From the Oven...

What I've baked for CNY so far:

..::Green Tea Jewels::..


..::Green Peas Cookies::..


..::Pineapple Cookies::..

That's it... The cookies are ok.. The Green Peas Cookies taste the best.. The Pineapple Cookies are ok, Hubby commented that the filling are a tad too hard.. I find the crust too crumbly too.. I added a little too much water, because it was so hard to press it out from the cookies presser. My arms are still sore now.. Wanted to make more.. Arghhh.. too tired (lazy) to do so.. :)

On a brighter note:

My Fatt Koh/Huat Kueh smiled!!!! I did it this morning..

..::Fatt Koh/ Huat Kueh::..

Yay! So happy!! I'm trying 'proving' a batter for something else right now.. If it works out I'll post the picture.. :)

A Good Start For The Year!

Had a pleasant surprise the other day when I opened the mailbox! A letter from Cleo stating I've won a Maybelline Hamper set worth $100! Wow! I've never won anything from a magazine in my life! I don't always join those contests in magazine, but still... Yup! It's a great way to start the year! :)


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Started my New Year baking yesterday. I only did the shopping yesterday itself, so I started rather late. Make a few 'Fatt Koh' or 'Huat Kueh' that doesn't 'Fatt/Huat' and a batch of Green Tea Cookies that just tasted ok.. I expected more..
Oh well, gonna bake more later.. Hopefully things will turn out better today...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yay! We're gonna take our family portrait this weekend.. Not gonna say much first so not to 'jinx' it. It's sooooooo hard to arrange all your family members to get together, when now everybody is working (especially my dad!). But I think I manage to do it.. Keeping my fingers crossed everything will work out as planned! I'll update on this soon.. :)

Ok.. I'm off to start my baking!!!!

Merry Christmas! Happy New Year and Happy 6 Months Old!

Yes! I know, I really should update more often.. and I will.... try..

Wow.. before you even realize it, our Piglet Chan is 6 months old today! I was telling Hubby a couple of days ago, how I missed our little 1 month old Piglet Chan.. :)

A little update, at 6 months, Aiden:

1) Is able to pull himself forward a little, go backwards with ease.
2) Rolls around a lot, moves himself in 360 degrees like crazy!
3) Loves singing.. but of course in his own little language! We discovered that he loves oldies.. be it Chinese or English.. lol..
4) Loves eating his digestible biscuits.. give him 1 and he stuff all right into his mouth at a go, like we've not fed him for ages.
5) Simply adores going out, he smiles like there's no tomorrow if you bring him out. Keep him at home for a whole day, and he'll be grouchy like hell..
6) Loves his walker.. he can move around with ease now.. his latest stunt was moving sideways like a crab.. god know where he learned that from..
7) Smiles and laugh a lot more these days.. but his laughter are still those soundless ones.. you can see his mouth open really big but not a squeak will come out.. and he throws a whole lot of tantrums too.. this son of mine have a really mean temper.. hmmmmm..
8) Loves his ABC flashcards.. you can flash it repeatedly for a hundred time in front of him and he never gets tired of them.. so much more better than any other toys!
9) Still couldn't sit on his own unsupported... but he's on his way there..
10) Weighs 8.5kgs and about 70cms in length.. everybody was complaining how heavy he was.. recently, he decided to go on diet and started refusing his milk..
11) Recognizes his family, but is a little wary of strangers. But he warms up to them quickly, especially if you are fair.. lol..
12) Have both his double eyelids already! For the longest time, he had single eyelid on the right eye and double on the left.. yup! They both are double eyelid now! Lol..

I thinks that's about it.. will updates with photos soon.. Ciao! :)
